Killingsworth, the editor of the 'Liberty' Lamp, dated 28 December 1931 on Liberty headed notepaper, enclosed in a Liberty embossed envelope, thanking Miss M. Chappell for contributing to the magazine. Enclosed with the letter is a manuscript note dated 2010:"This is a family heirloom. 'Miss Chappell' was my father's sister, so my Aunt Elsie worked at Liberty - influenced her 'Arts and Crafts' attitude to life. I was very fond of her. Mervyn." Mervyn would appear to be Mervyn Levy, son of Mervyn Levy senior, the art critic and writer (1914-96,) friend of Dylan Thomas, and author of the classic book 'Liberty Style, The Classic Years, 1798-1910 (1986.) This is borne out by the fact that Mervyn Levy Senior's sister was Elva (Elsie) Stella Levy. / Also loosely inserted at p.15 is a MS note, signed 'Mervyn' and dated 'Feb. 2011' rebutting a suggestion on that page about the identity of the anonymous correspondent, confirming that the latter was his aunt, not a Miss E. Hunt: 'See enclosed letter, dated Dec. 1931, written to my aunt'. This scarce staff magazine, for an iconic London department store, ran for a short period only (1925-1932). Covers partly sunned and spine sunned; extremities rubbed in places. Near VG.

A scarce item, and considering its perforation, fortunately found in its complete state. No copy on OCLC WorldCat, which does however have entries for copies of similar Liberty's 1910 ('SERIES XXXIII') and 1913 catalogues, the latter at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. 64pp, 8vo. Stitched into oat-coloured cloth soft covers, with decorative border and title printed on front cover. In fair internal condition: on lightly aged and spotted paper. In worn and stained wraps. The five pages of text and fifty-nine full-page illustrations are printed in brown on cream paper. The second page carries 'Notes' on 'ordering', 'prices quoted', 'mourning or half-mourning colours', the making up of dresses 'to any design desired', 'Models made up in the world-famed Liberty fabrics', and 'the appropriate use and application of embroidery' ('one of the features associated with Liberty Costumes'). Each of the thirty-two leaves is perforated, and the notes explain that 'In Ordering, - | The page upon which the dress selected is illustrated should be torn out and posted without the remainder of the book; and when two or more materials are quoted for choice the mark of a cross (X) should be placed against the material approved.' Pages 4 to 18 carry fifteen 'Costumes never out of fashion', and pages 20 to 63 carry forty-four 'Novelties for the season'. Each illustration is captioned with detail and price, as for example in the first section: 'ITALIAN XIV. CENTURY. | Philippa. Rest Gown, in Nirvana crape, with revers and under-sleeves in shade to tone, and oxydized embroidery: | 11 guineas'; and in the second section: 'Patricia, Coat, in Orion satin, handsomely embroidered, lined with satin. Fringe ornaments and tassels to tone: | 18 guineas'.
